Apogee 16x. One AD and two DA's. And an SSL Sigma in front of that (sometimes Speck Xtramix).
 
Universal Audo Apollo Twin Mk II for the last year
Apogee Duet for many years prior.
Only made the change due to wanting a 3rd and 4th output. The Twin is great stuff, quality all around.
 
I was a long time user of an RME Fireface 800, 10 years and then it conked off on me. I was shattered.

I then bought a Universal Audio Apollo 8p. It is absolutely amazing to be able to use the DSP on a hardware device and take the strain off your PC. And the UAD plugins are awesome, especially their preamps, but also things like their Ocean Way Studios plugin. I also plan on picking up one of those Townsend Labs mics one of these days.

The Fireface was just sitting in storage for a while and then I got the bright idea of sending it in for repair. Cost a tonne because they had to replace the motherboard, but now that it's back, I am really stoked.

Unfortunately, the repair cost so much that I would lose a lot of money if I sold it. Stupid of me to repair something based on nostalgia value. But like others have said, the RME stuff is supported for decades, they keep putting out firmware updates. I figure I'll use it for a portable recording/live solution with a laptop.

How bad ass is the Apollo Twin may I ask. I am looking into the Apollo stuff big time!


awqesome,m comes with great universal audio plug ins!!!
 
Just went from a Tascam UH7000 to an Audient ID44 last week. Love the Tascam, but needed more inputs. The Audient is great so far.
 
I have 2 music production rigs. For the more serious one, I have an RME Fireface 800. I love it.

For the portable music rig, I was between a Scarlett 2i2 and Audient iD4 after a little light reading. But then a friend sold me his Scarlett Solo, so that's what I have. I also love it. Pres aren't as nice as the RME but it's not fair to really compare the two in any way shape or form. :D
